Taylor Swift + Lady Gaga Make 2011 Top-Grossing Tour Lists

The numbers are in, and it’s official: more people decided to stay home instead of seeing their favorite acts on tour in 2011. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good year for some of the artists who hit the road — including Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, both of whom made the North American top five in Pollstar’s year-end list of the top-grossing tours.

In fact, Taylor had the second-most popular tour of 2011, bringing in an impressive $97.7 million in the States — right behind U2, who topped the American chart as well as the worldwide tally.

Taking overseas numbers into account, U2 racked up $231.9 million on the year, followed by Take That, whose reunion tour grossed $224 million and Bon Jovi, who earned $148.8 million. Rounding out the global top five were Taylor Swift ($104.2 million) and Roger Waters ($103.6 million).
